Definitions

  • the field of the present invention is that of what is referred to as “soft” mobility, and more particularly that of mobility machines that combine electrical propulsion and muscular force, for example electrically assisted bicycles.
  • Gearboxes for cycles are known from the prior art.
  • the publication FR2975367 A1 discloses a gear shift device for bicycles that has a gearbox and a sliding shuttle for selecting the gear.
  • the axial displacement of the shuttle is controlled via two cables connected to a rotary handle positioned on the bicycle handlebar.
  • This system requires many parts. It is complex to manufacture and maintain. In particular, the cable control requires precise and regular adjustment. There is a need to simplify and automate gearboxes for cycles.
  • the subject of the invention is a gear shift device for a mobility machine
  • Each of the gears has a particular ratio between the output speed and the input speed of the gear shift device.
  • the number of positions of the shuttle is at least equal to the number of gears of the gear shift device.
  • Each gear corresponds to a particular position of the shuttle in which the input pinion of the selected gear meshes with the corresponding output pinion.
  • the hollow shaft turns, which drives the shuttle.
  • the worm screw is rotated by the gear shift actuator.
  • the rotational movement of the worm screw is transformed into a translational movement of the shuttle, which is displaced into the position corresponding to the selected gear.
  • the hollow shaft is a selection shaft, the two expressions being used equivalently in the present application.
  • the invention also provides a compact gear shift device with reduced bulk.
  • the worm screw driven by the gear shift actuator does away with the cables of the prior art and thus affords a more reliable solution which is easy to maintain.
  • the gear shift actuator has mechanical means for bringing about a translational movement of the shuttle, in particular means for transforming a rotational movement into a translational movement.
  • the gear shift actuator also has electric means for moving the shuttle, in particular a reduction gearset.
  • the gear shift device according to the invention has one or another of the following features, taken alone or in combination:
  • the shift device has a rail along which the shuttle is displaced.
  • the rail is housed in particular in the selection shaft.
  • the shuttle may have over its entire length at least one axial channel in which the rail is positioned. The channel, or one of the channels, thus serves to retain the rail.
  • the shuttle is connected to the rail via a nut.
  • the rail constitutes a linear abutment that prevents the rotation of the nut.
  • the axial movement of the nut drives the shuttle and thus changes the gear.
  • the nut is accommodated inside the shuttle.
  • the rail and the nut are thus part of the mechanical means for bringing about a translational movement of the shuttle. They form a pivot connection between the worm screw and the shuttle, transforming the rotational movement of the worm screw into the translational movement of the shuttle.
  • the gear shift device has at least one epicyclic gear train.
  • the latter replaces the rail and the nut of the preceding embodiment.
  • the epicyclic gear train is part of the mechanical means for bringing about a translational movement of the shuttle.
  • the epicyclic gear train is a double epicyclic reduction gear having an inner ring that is integral with the selection shaft and an outer ring that is integral with the worm. The two rings, inner and outer, are linked via at least three satellite pinions.
  • the reduction gearset In order to perform a gear shift, the reduction gearset temporarily turns the outer ring through a determined angle which depends on the necessary displacement of the shuttle between the positions that respectively correspond to the initial gear and to the desired gear. Following the angular deflection thus created between the inner ring and the outer ring, the ratio between the rotation of each ring is temporarily no longer equal to one. The shuttle is thus driven in a translational movement until it reaches a new position corresponding to the new gear that is selected.
  • the invention relates to a transmission assembly for a mobility machine, said transmission assembly having an electric motor, in particular arranged so as to supply all or some of the energy for propelling the machine, and a gear shift device as described above.
  • the invention relates to a mobility machine having a gear shift device, as described above.
  • the machine may have a rechargeable energy source, in particular a battery, for supplying power to the reduction gearset device.
  • Said battery is preferably arranged so as to supply energy to the various members of the mobility machine, in particular the lighting, an optional locating/navigation system, etc., this list being non-limiting.
  • the mobility machine is electrically assisted and has an electric motor, provided for example with a reduction gear.
  • the mobility machine is in particular arranged such that the electric motor can supply the torque when the instantaneous speed of the mobility machine is less than a threshold value.
  • the mobility machine is not electrically assisted.
  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a gear shift device, as described above.
  • the method has a step of triggering a selected gear of the gear shift device.
  • a control unit controls the gear shift actuator on the basis of an order on the part of the user indicating the chosen gear.

  • the machine 900 has a control unit 800 and multiple sensors 80 , located in particular at the crankset, on the bicycle frame or at a wheel.
  • the machine 900 also has an energy storage device in the form of a battery 910 , a lighting system 920 , a crankset 940 with an axis Xp, a locating and/or navigation system 980 , and a human/machine interface system 990 having in particular a touch screen that can display information for and/or take into account the requests of said user.
  • the human/machine interface system 990 is in particular connected to the locating system 980 and acts as a navigation interface.
  • the invention is not limited to a particular human/machine interface system, and may have any system that is known to a person skilled in the art.
  • the wheels 950 are provided with a braking system 960 , having in particular disk brakes 965 .
  • the machine 900 has a transmission assembly 700 , illustrated in FIG. 2 .
  • the transmission assembly 700 has a gear shift device 100 according to the invention and an electric motor 300 with an axis of rotation Xm for supplying some of the power for propelling the machine 900 .

  • the reduction gearset assembly has a pinion 135 on the axis of the worm screw 132 , an intermediate pinion 135 and a pinion 135 on the axis Xm of the motor 140 .
  • the teeth of the pinion 135 may be straight, as illustrated, or helical, in a variant which is not illustrated.
  • the gears are shifted by a sliding shuttle 155 underneath the free pinions 30 of the gearbox.
  • the gear shift actuator 150 axially displaces the shuttle along a worm screw 132 via a helical kinematic connection.
  • the shuttle 155 therefore stops underneath the input pinion Fr, that corresponds to the selected gear i.
  • a spring/ball system as described in the French patent application FR2975367 A1 (illustrated here in more detail in FIG. 5 ) prevents the rotation of said input pinion Fri. Once it is triggered, the input pinion Fri meshes with and transmits forces to the output pinion Fi, and thus to the chain sprocket linked to the bicycle wheel.

  • the shuttle houses a return member 152 that cooperates with a ball 151 of the selection shaft 200 .
  • the shuttle 155 is moreover connected to a rail 134 by a nut 138 .

  • the worm screw 132 is rotated by the gear shift actuator 150 .
  • the worm screw 132 is rotated by the gear shift actuator 150 , this causing the axial movement of the nut 138 which drives the shuttle 155 and thus changes the gear.
  • the pivot connection thus implemented transforms the rotational movement of the worm screw 132 into the translational movement of the shuttle 155 .
  • a stop 133 limits the displacement of the shuttle 155 at each end.
  • the stops 133 are for example hollow, as illustrated, and accommodate bearings 136 that serve to support and guide the worm screw 132 .
